Should I be concerned that I’m *genuinely* enjoying this?

Ah well, may as well burn my fee remaining cool points in style.

Not that I had many to start with…

I had a bit of a sort out this morning that has resulted in this.

And I've still got a bunch of old 'scratchpad' projects to review, too...

Plus one thing I want to get done & out before the end of the year.

A very Merry Xmas to all my friends on here. This was the year I properly started playing live again, and I want to thank everyone who came to see me and said such nice things.
Thanks also to everyone who continued to listen to, buy and champion my music. You are all very, very appreciated. 🥰

On behalf of my wife, who's not on Bsky.

She creates unique handmade bags, pouches, coptic bound fabric covered sketchbooks and other small gifts.

She's really good - many are her own designs & she crafts with thought and care.

On a quick flick through this looks spot on. Definitely got the old type in listing vibe.

Looking forward to reliving the anticipation, tedium, disappointment and ultimate joy of my youth.

But with added wine & nibbles.

And thank you to everyone who made time to let me know they liked my set or have a little chat after I played. I’m still relatively new to this playing live lark, so it was lovely to hear some folk enjoyed hearing what I did as much as I enjoyed playing it!

I had a wonderful time at #SwitchedOn this weekend. Both as a punter and, excitingly, a playing artist.

Thanks to all my #bleepbloopfriends and to the team at #FlowergateHall for all their hard work in giving us such a wonderful place to be.

Sunday morning in wonderful Whitby.

Smashing in a couple of last-minute practices before my #switchedon debut
A moody photograph of the view from our Airbnb window. In the lower portion of the photograph is a silhouette with Abby against a thin red band of lighter sky with grey clouds and grey sky above. The state of the kitchen table in our Airbnb at 7 am on Sunday morning. You can see a Novation Nova 2 keyboard, an Ableton push, my MacBook Air laptop and a Tascam model 12 mixer. The latter three are raised up slightly on an “ IKEA hack” riser made out of a shelf and some kitchen cabinet legs

Oh.

It’s going to be that sort of day is it.

Reminds me of this.

I don't recall it doing anything remotely useful like helping to present a radio show.

Reader, we ate it.

Meet my new bezzie mate, Chadwick.

Me and Chad spent a lovely hour and a half chewing the cud. Me metaphorically, him literally.

Given on a iPhone you have to swipe up from the bottom of the screen to swap apps, this is a bit of*genius* UI design from #podpoint

🙄🤦

#DoSomeUserTestingForCryingOutLoud
A screenshot from the Pod Point app. It shows the screen you see while charging. There is a big black stop charging button right at the bottom of the screen where you have to tap and drag to swap apps on the iPhone. Why they couldn’t stick it at the top of the screen out of the way of any accidental clicks, I really don’t know. Rubbish

gribblybadges! githerments (1&2), Hello, Tennyson and a strictly limited #SwitchedOn gribbles logo badge.

Not sure what I’m going to do cd-wise. Was thinking of a few homemade ones with the setlist songs on it - and maybe a cheeky Switched On Only special track…

We’ll see. Time is getting short!

A sneaky preview of the cover for my halloween release

If you want to hear a preview of Three Knocks, then give latest 'From Bonfire Hill' radio show by @bonfirehill.bsky.social a listen - well worth it for all the tunes TBQH. It's a great show

www.mixcloud.com/camp_fr/from...

#SwitchedOn
A square image of an album cover. The cover has a blue background, and in the centre is a photograph of a close up of an old, cobweb strewn door knocker on a blue wooden door. The door knocker is fashioned after the head of a lion, golding the circular knocker in its mouth. Around the edge of the cover is the name of the artist - gribbles - and the three tracks that make up the ep. Three Knocks, Boglin, and Friday Flit. A small group of text in the bottom right hand corner states that this release is Lincolnshire Voices e.p, number 3

It would appear I have a clutch of demos of tunes with words. Er...songs, I think they are called.

Not sure if the world is ready for a "gribbles sings!" ep/lp...😆

Might try them out on a few folk first.

Note to self: sometimes tech and two year olds don’t mix well.

Looks like a Bandcamp Friday gribbles release is on the cards...

3 tracks of chilled, laid back Lincolnshire dialect melancholia with an additional *slightly* more upbeat live in the studio improv.
EP cover for "As Then, So Now..." by gribbles Predominantly black and white except for gribbles name in yellow at the top. There's a cloud washed grey/black background over which can just be seen a faded photo of an old farming scene. A farm labourer harvesting by hand with a scythe.

Happy "Gribbles missed another Bandcamp Friday" for those who celebrate!

Although in recognition of #PhantomsFriday, here's a trio of gribblyghosts that *may* feature in an upcoming release that I might time to hit an appropriate future #BandcampFriday...
